Lately, GothamChess (Youtuber mostly on Chess.com) has been playing chess with ChatGPT. It was learned that ChatGPT can recognize games played by well-known historical figures, openings, and provide detailed suggestions about why it has suggested certain moves. Although Stockfish is better (currently), ChatGPT is way beyond in terms of analysis and explaining moves.
Is this a pipe dream, or have you considered the possibility of integrating ChatGPT (or other) as an analysis tool?
Here’s a sample from a game I had ChatGPT simulate against itself.
"2. Nf3 Nc6: This move is known as the Italian Game. White develops their knight to a central square, preparing to control the center of the board and potentially support future pawn advances.
- Bc4: This move is called the Italian Game, Giuoco Piano. White develops their bishop to a central square, aiming to control the center and potentially put pressure on Black’s e5 pawn.
3…Nf6: Black develops their knight to f6, attacking White’s e4 pawn and preparing to control the center.
- Ng5: This move is known as the Fried Liver Attack. White attacks Black’s f7 pawn, which is a weak spot in Black’s position. This move aims to create tactical complications and put pressure on Black’s position early on.
4…d5: Black counterattacks in the center, attacking White’s knight on g5 and opening up the position. This move aims to challenge White’s central control and create tactical opportunities.
- exd5: White captures Black’s d5 pawn, opening up the center and gaining material advantage. This move also opens up lines for White’s pieces to become more active.
5…Na5: Black attacks White’s d5 pawn, forcing the knight to move and potentially creating weaknesses in White’s position.
- Bb5+: White checks Black’s king, forcing it to move and potentially disrupting Black’s development.
6…c6: Black counters the check by attacking White’s bishop on b5 and potentially opening up lines for their pieces.
- dxc6: White captures Black’s c6 pawn, gaining material advantage and potentially opening up lines for their pieces.
7…bxc6: Black captures White’s b5 bishop, gaining material advantage and potentially opening up lines for their pieces.
- Be2: White retreats their bishop to e2, protecting the e4 pawn and potentially preparing to castle.
8…h6: Black attacks White’s bishop on e2, potentially forcing it to move and disrupting White’s development.
- Nf3: White retreats their knight to f3, protecting the e4 pawn and potentially preparing to castle.
9…e4: Black advances their e pawn, attacking White’s knight on f3 and potentially creating weaknesses in White’s position.
- Ne5: White moves their knight to e5, attacking Black’s e4 pawn and potentially creating tactical opportunities."
It has its limitations currently, but I’m hopeful that it will become more capable over time, and perhaps by the time there could be some form of tool made for the app.
